Hi Harold,
You probably have never heard about me, and until an hour ago I had
never heard about you, but that does not stop me to climb into my
keyboard and send you this email.
I read 'the thread' on the mailing list, and what I can conclude on it
can be simply summarized as: You seem to be doing your best in making a
very usefull free piece of software; 'they' seem to be high up in some
ivory tower thinking that all the x code base are belong to them.
Such a pity. Instead of trying to resolve your issues the only thing the
xfree guys seem to do is push you to a certain state where 'your
emotions take over' and you let out a 'fuck you', and then they very
childishly respond that they will not listen to you anymore when you let
out such insults.
I can only conclude that the xfree guys have lost touch with the
positive side of themselves and have let arrogance take over. An
oss/free software project should be all about working together; they are
certainly not doing their best to work together.
So, to keep with your words: 'fuck them'; maybe the xouvert guys will
appreciate your contributions? I do hope this whole thing does not take
away your spirit in working on cygwin.
Cheers & good luck,
Leo Mekenkamp
